SPECTER

NAME

specter − netfilter/iptables ULOG daemon

SYNOPSIS

specter [options]

DESCRIPTION

specter connects to the netlink device of the Linux kernel and reads messages from the netfilter that get queued with the iptables ULOG target. For this to work you have to compile the ULOG target into your kernel or load the respective module.

The received messages can be logged into files or into a mySQL or PostgreSQL database. Possibilities are based on dynamically loadable plugins, which are shipped along with specter package.
